i found a wild limbata ooth about a month or 2 ago. I just realized tonight there has been some activity, like tiny skin molts on the floor, but what i notice crawling around are larvae-like and not mantids. not exactly sure what they are. Is there any chance in saving the ooth? or is it basically a goner and i should freeze it to prevent any more pests from coming out?

thanks guys for the replies. I originally had it in a net cage, it is now in a sealed plastic tub to prevent any other larvae that may travel out of the net cage. I guess i'ma just treat it as a lost cause :(

how unfortunate, i was excited to have found a wild one
